Urinary citrate in preterm and term babies

(1) To determine a normal range for urinary citrate for term babies. (2) To compare urinary citrate measured in ex preterm babies at term with this normal range. (3) To evaluate whether urinary citrate was related to presence of nephrocalcinosis (NC) and chronic Lung Disease (CLD) in these ex preter...

Description
Summary:(1) To determine a normal range for urinary citrate for term babies. (2) To compare urinary citrate measured in ex preterm babies at term with this normal range. (3) To evaluate whether urinary citrate was related to presence of nephrocalcinosis (NC) and chronic Lung Disease (CLD) in these ex preterm babies. Urinary citrate was measured in 38 healthy term babies (mean birth weight 3.52 kg, mean gestation 41 weeks) at a mean postnatal age of 3 days (1–5 days) and in 53 ex preterm babies (
